As verified with Manulife’s Air Canada specialists, they are currently working on the Benefits booklet, and it is not yet available. This booklet will include information about both medical and dental coverage. It will be uploaded on both the website and app shortly. We have informed them about the discrepancies between the app and the website. This is because our drug plan coverage is under a different number and it does not appear to be associated with the app.
When setting up coverage with your pharmacy, please provide them with the following drug plan number: 0788021. Medical and Dental are both covered under the number we registered with: 788000. We have been assured by the bargaining committee that our plan coverage has not changed.

Please be informed that the new implementation of Harmony significantly improves the company’s ability to identify various KPIs, including hold times, dead air calls, and timeframe on transferred calls to other departments. It is important to follow Call Center Standards and Expectations, which can be found on Acpedia, and it gives a breakdown of proper phone etiquette, such as when customers are not on the line, or when transferring to another department, as the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy for phone abuse. Additionally, all conversations are recorded. If you have questions, please get in contact with me.
